>>Agreed. But you need to splurge (a couple of bucks) and get the Pro version.<<

Pitchlab, for some reason, is marketed as a guitar tuner, but the trifling cost of the Pro upgrade gets you a piano keyboard from which any pitch can be selected.  It's a bit odd that a versatile tuner like this is identified primarily as for guitars, but I guess the author has identified the market from which the bulk of sales can be expected.

Not that long ago I suspect many of us would have shelled out $100 or far more to get something like the Korg OT-12, which is far less flexible than the tuning software we can get for our smartphones today.  I think Pitchlab costs only $5 (or at least it did when I bought it; the price no longer shows since it's marked as a purchase in my account).  Let's support people who develop these apps, especially with their exceedingly reasonable cost, otherwise the creators will decide their work isn't worth the effort and we'll be left with nothing.
